INSTALL-1.18

This patch fixes two problems in the INSTALL file in 5.004.  This fix is
appropriate for 5.004_01.

First, the INSTALL file erroneously claims you can set all the install*
variables from the Configure command line.  You can't.  That's awaiting my
-Dinstallprefix patch, which is so far down on the ToDo list that it may
never get done.

Second, I misspelled 'override'.  I had two 'v's and one 'r'. :-)
